Unique Unit: Lengel Eagle Hunters
These men are the elite. They are the absolute best at hunting, scouting, and shooting a bow. Any general that employs these men in his service is helped greatly by their skill, and their tactical supplication. Made famous by Temujan in his out-flanking of the Nkondians, these men are few, but their precense can mean the difference between victory, and defeat.
Their skill lies in their training. From birth, these men have trained with eagles. They use them to help them hunt, using the eagles as their eyes and ears, and comanding the loyalty of these eagles with experience, and training. In hunting, this allows the men to know where prey is from the eagles scouting for its master. In war, this allows the army to know where an enemy is thanks to eagle scouts, saving the men that might have been lost in scouting.
As military campaigns rely on the most up to date infromation, these men are extremely useful. Temujan used them in great affect in the ambush and destruction of the Nkondian warriors, the scouts allowing Temujan to know exactly where his enemy was, and drew them into a prefect ambush.
Their use in ambushes is their greatest asset, as their eagles provide the warning when the enemy approaches, as well as the call to strike. Thus, the Lengel Eagle Hunters can be the eyes and ears of the Lengel horde, and allow them to take fewer causalties through their accurate scouting capibilities.
Not only that, but because these men are such skilled hunters, the Lengel Eagle hunters are extremely fast and good shots with their deadly arrows. Their small number make them extremely elite (as there was never more than five hundred of them in Temujan's entire Nkondian army), and as such when the actual battle is engaged, these men can fire extremely accurate arrows at their enemies, making any enemy fear the bite of a Eagle Hunters arrow.
